There are few recipes left to ignite
the epicure in me but this is one I really
want to share. Because we grow the
avocado here, right outside my study
window, the rows resplendent green,
the fruit plump, indecently licentious
and daring to be picked, it would be
obscenely remiss of me to further resist
the urge to give you this for free.
Take a ripe fruit (or two), add a squeeze
of lime, a garlic clove, a pinch of toasted
cumin seed, chopped coriander (you may
know it as cilantro), tomato and some chilli.
Mix these well together, season to taste.
Cool in the refrigerator; too much haste will
lessen the taste! Eat with corn chips or your
fingers, who cares, and wash down with
chilled corona beer. Voila!
Easy goes on the guacamole though,
its dynamite food, but the beer – swill your
fill, slice of lime in bottle neck, and gargle
your head off. Wherever you’re at, be assured,
guacamole will bring you back.
